Ryan,

Does the docking station support DPMS?  I've noticed that when I plug a
monitor into my laptop and restart X it picks a different resolution
than the default.  I presume this is due to incompatibilities between
the connected monitor and the local LCD.  

All this said, try adding 2048x1535 to the beginning of your Modes line
in xorg.conf.  Make sure Option "dpms" is in the monitor section and
comment out the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines.  Then restart X.  No
guarantees, but it might work.
